The exits continue as more charities have pulled out of President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago.

See the list here.

The big announcement today: The club lost the Preservation Foundation of Palm Beach, which moved its dinner dance to Mar-a-Lago after being at The Breakers last season. The foundation’s event started at Mar-a-Lago more than 30 years ago, when the property was still in the hands of the Post trust.

PB Preservation Foundation, which was bringing its gala -- DT's Holy Grail -- to Mar-a-Lago for the first time this March, has pulled out.

Executive Director Amanda Skier said in a release: "The Preservation Foundation of Palm Beach is a nonprofit dedicated to protecting and celebrating the unique architectural and cultural heritage of Palm Beach. Given the current environment surrounding Mar-a-Lago, we have made the decision to move our annual dinner dance."
